6 Ups And 7 Downs From WWE Raw (June 15)

2. Trouble In Paradise

Can someone explain why Zelina Vega’s stable is falling apart? A month ago, she had three wrestlers – including the United States Champion – and looked to be on the cusp of leading a renaissance as a stable manager for the new decade.

Since then, Austin Theory has been booted, Andrade lost his US title, and now Andrade and Angel Garza are at odds, indirectly causing each other to lose matches on back-to-back nights and arguing about it. And Garza and Andrade have also lost a bunch of matches along the way.

It’s disappointing, to say the least, and frustrating to see this tandem with potential get toppled so often. Worse, Vega seemed to be doing well in her role, but it’s impossible to take her or her charges seriously when they keep losing and fighting amongst themselves.

What gives WWE? Why can’t we have nice things?
